What is a prepaid electricity meter?

A prepaid electricity meter, also known as a prepayment meter, is a type of electricity meter that allows users to pay for their electricity usage in advance. With a prepaid meter, customers purchase electricity credits, typically in the form of a prepaid card or token, and load them onto the meter. As the customer uses electricity, the corresponding amount is deducted from their prepaid balance.

Key information:

1. Prepaid electricity meters require users to pay for electricity upfront.
2. Customers purchase electricity credits and load them onto the meter.
